The majority mark to form the government in the 90-member assembly is 46.

According to Axis My India exit poll projections, the Congress is likely to win 59 seats in the state while the BJP can win 23 seats. The other may win 8 seats. Congress leader and former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today attributed this projected win to the impressive track record of Congress between 2005 and 2014, coupled with the perceived failures of the BJP-led government from 2014 to 2024, marked by corruption and underperformance.
